Study of Concrete Beams by Replacing Coarse Aggregates with Rubber Waste
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCED RESEARCH IN CONSTRUCTION AND URBAN ARCHITECTURE - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
India has done a major leap on developing the infrastructures such as express highways, power projects and industrial structures, dams etc. to meet the requirements of globalization. For the construction of civil engineering works, concrete play main role and a large quantum of concrete is being utilized. Both coarse aggregate and fine aggregate is a major constituent used for making conventional concrete, has become highly expensive and also scarce. Huge amount of rubber tyre waste is generating day by day which creates the disposal problem and has many environmental issues. As this scrap rubber waste is an elastic material having less specific gravity, energy absorbent material can be used as a replacement material for obtaining light weight concrete. In present study the aggregates in less stress concrete zone below the neutral axis are replaced by the scrap material like scrap tyre rubber aggregates (STRA). Replacement is done with varying proportion from 0% to 60% with increment of 20%. Method of initial functions is used for finding bending stress of beams. The Method of initial functions (MIF) is an analytical method of elasticity theory.
